Notification of DAA Medication Eligibility. On or before the date set by the Court, HHSC, at its expense, shall demonstrate a good faith effort to cause the Class Notice to be delivered by direct first class United States mail/email/text message or another effective means of contact, to all individuals currently enrolled in Texas Medicaid who have been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and who have not previously received DAA treatment through Texas Medicaid. The agency will utilize the most recent complete prior two years of claims/encounters data to make this determination.
Notification of DAA Medication Eligibility. Starting sixty (60) days before a final approval hearing for this agreement is scheduled, the Plaintiffs will provide Notice drafted by Plaintiffs’ counsel and agreed upon by Defendants’ counsel to Settlement Class Members as to the availability of DAA medication under this Agreement. Plaintiffs’ obligation to provide Notice to the Settlement Class Members will be satisfied by providing TDCJ with lists of the Settlement Class Members housed at each TDCJ unit so that TDCJ may print and deliver a copy of the agreed upon Notice using the procedures for delivering “Legal Mail” to inmates in TDCJ custody. TDCJ agrees to print and deliver the agreed-upon Notice to each Settlement Class Members as if it were “Legal Mail,” and provide logs demonstrating this delivery to Plaintiffs’ counsel for their review. By their review of the logs provided by TDCJ, Plaintiffs’ counsel will verify that Notice has been provided to all Settlement Class Members, and report that Notice has been accomplished to the Court.
